SmartPGH Multimodal Detection Procurement

The City of Pittsburgh, through its Office of Management & Budget and the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI), is soliciting proposals for a complete multimodal detection system to be installed at 25 Phase 1 signalized intersections (with potential expansion to 115 additional intersections). The system must detect vehicles, pedestrians, and other modes, integrate with existing traffic signal and data infrastructure, and include hardware, software, installation support, training, and a five‑year subscription/maintenance package. Bidders must submit a fixed‑price proposal for Phase 1, comply with Buy America requirements, and may be evaluated on qualifications, technical compliance, references, and price using a weighted‑sum formula. The procurement follows a Best‑Value approach; a non‑mandatory pre‑proposal virtual meeting is scheduled for September 16, 2026, and the final proposal deadline is September 30, 2026. The contract award is expected in October 2026, with Phase 1 construction slated for mid‑2027. • Provide detection hardware, cabling, processors, and mounting for 25 intersections (potentially up to 140 total). • Deliver integration services with the City’s central signal system and data platforms. • Offer training for City staff and contractors, plus a 5‑year subscription and warranty. • Comply with the Build America/Buy America Act and all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. • Evaluation criteria: qualifications (60 pts), system requirements (detailed & simple), open Q&A, references, and price (weighted). • Payment milestones: 25 % at fulfillment, 25 % at acceptance, 20 % after 30‑day test, 30 % after verification.
